Afghan hunting rugs, often called "hunting design" or pictorial rugs, depict animals such as deer, rabbits, birds, and horses, sometimes with riders, arranged across the field and borders. Woven by Baluch, Turkmen, and other tribal weavers, they blend Persian pictorial traditions with bold tribal color. Deep navy grounds, crimson, gold, and ivory make the figures stand out, giving each hand-knotted wool piece a lively, storytelling character.
